FiddlebackForge new apprentice�

Welcome Adam. Sounds like a great apprenticeship.

Always looking forward to pics of knives and shop :thumbup:
 
Very neat. Adam is very lucky and I hope to see his artistic talents soon unleashed.
I'm jealous!

Adam wanted a grinder instead of a car? That's commitment. :)
Good luck!
 
Welcome to the business, can't wait to see your knives. Please post some pictures when you get a chance. You also sound like a fine gentleman and will fit in well with this group.
 
Adam?

er...you DID read the fine print, wherein after two week's apprenticeship you have to have a Fiddleback Spider tatooed on your forehead, right?

It's a whole "trademark thing" with Andy.

Welcome. Best wishes.

When Adam was 13 he told me he was going to make a knife, so he took my old 1983 cold steel tanto as a guide, found a old file in the garage, built a fire in the back yard and kneelled the file. HE spent 2 weeks in the garage with files, a cruddy old vice, and sandpaper. I thought that when he was ready he was going to show me a train wreck, instead i was amazed at his talent and moreover tenacity. For his 16th birthday instead of a car he wanted a belt grinder and a bench in the basement.
I cannot express how grateful and proud I am that Andy has taken him under his wing, Adam has raw talent and a great passion for the craft, Andy requires the highest standards in all he does. I can appreciate the requirement of high standards as I am retired military and spent my career in 2d rgr bn , fco 51t inf lrsc and as a senior instructor at 5th rtb.
THank you Andy for giving him the oppertunity do do what he loves eat sleep grind.
